I'm staying with the 44 I bought a couple years back with my modded D5.

I prepped the engine for water lines to allow for future upgrades though.

Tuned right with a 44 and it'll still get you booted without a bar. That's what I'm hoping for this year. Maybe at least a warning. :D

All I can say is that I've owned the BFGs and the MTs. The MTs are awesome.

Try the Goodyear Drag Radials. I would also suggest Bogart Wheels.

I have MTs and love them, but I got them before I went to work for Goodyear.I am not even sure if Goodyear had released their Drag Radial at that time. My next set will be the Goodyear Eagle S/S.

The new engine is in the cah. Now I'm working on making all those bolt on parts actually fit. (Ie: movig fuel return and vapor lines that the down pipe touches, cutting the pass side inner fender to get it away from the down pipe, modifying the pinchweld between the floor pan and the firewall to make room for the down pipe, waiting for header wrap for the down pipe, Adapting a '95 S-10 A/C compressor,
realizing that I had gotten the wrong reciever dryer for the A/C, Waiting for
pullies, waiting for turbo filter system, shortening bolts that come with RJC valve cover spacers, making special stud bolts for use with valve cover spacers, insulating
starter wiring so it doesn't burn on TA crossover pipe, etc...)

Well all the parts that I ordered all showed up at once - today.

RJC sent me plain aluminum pullies instead of the black ones that I requested.
Just left Jason a voice mail. Now I have to wait for him to call back.
